Impala is comprised of a set of components that you install and run on a single node or on multiple nodes in a cluster. To run Impala in your cluster, you install the required Impala packages on designated nodes. The Impala packages contain the following Impala components:

  • Impala daemon
  • Impala statestore
  • Impala catalog
  • Impala binaries

The following table lists the Impala packages and their descriptions:
